The only problem I have with articles like these is that when they're called out as transgendered in the headline, I'm just looking at the picture going "well duh, I can totally tell." You should withhold that information so I'm looking at the picture saying "what a strangely typical couple, what's odd about this?" Then, at the end, BAM - transgendered. And then people are shaken, like "whaaaat I totally couldn't tell from that picture." Maybe make a few people think. Not many, but maybe a few.

Katie looks like a teenage girl. Arin only looks transgendered because he pulled up lesbianswholooklikejustinbieber.com and thought "fark yeah. THAT'S the look for me"

To be fair though, who hasn't pulled up lesbianswholooklikejustinbieber.com and thought that?

So transgender really means you think you're born the wrong sex... But how do you know that you're not just gay?

I mean its great they found eachother...but wouldn't they just feel that way anyhow being their own sex?

What sex you are is quite independent from what sex you're attracted to. If one feels they are in the wrong body or identify more with one sex, it's not discovered by how you feel about your desired sexual partner. These things are quite separate.

Gender identity and attraction to others are two completely different things. One relates to self and one to others. Human nature is, by and large, far more subtle and complex than it often appears to be.

Yeah. There are actually some people out there who are both gay and transgender at the same time. As in, you were born a man, you feel you're supposed to be a woman, and yet you're still attracted to women.

Needless to say, it's twice as tough for them. You have to deal with the fallout of declaring one, and then you've got the fallout of the other, and there aren't too many families that can handle that kind of a shock to the system.
